Memory Foam and Pregnancy

You know, I can't believe how big my poor tummy has gotten since I've been pregnant, and it seems that it got that way so quickly! It was no time at all until my back was absolutely killing me, and during the night I would toss and turn so much I finally just got up because trying to get some sleep was impossible! I finally figured out that what might actually help me sleep was if I could have some sort of support for my stomach area.

I couldn't figure out what to use to support my tummy. I tried folding up some blankets, but they were scratchy and not right for the job, and they wouldn't stay folded, either. I tried using my regular bed pillows, but they just wouldn't bend the right way to accommodate...

the shape of my stomach. I kept feeling the pointy corners poking me in the ribs. I didn't know what I was going to try next until I came across an ad for memory foam pillows. The ad said that they were responsive to temperature, and that my body temperature would make the memory foam pillow conform to the shape of my body. It also said that the pillows were made with high enough density to help support the human body but without putting any uncomfortable pressure on it.

That was just what I was looking for! A pillow that would be comfortable, but supportive, responsive to my shape and could keep conforming to my shape even as my shape kept changing. Oh my goodness! I was so excited that I ordered two of the pillows! It was only ten o'clock in the morning when they arrived, but just to try them out I took myself back to bed! Having two of them meant I could use one to support the area around my back, and one to support my stomach! I got so comfy while I was trying them out that I fell asleep! It was the first good sleep I've had since finding out the baby was on its way.  Since I've started to use my memory foam mattress and pillows I've had a much better nights sleep and the memory foam pillow really helps!
